FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
This retreat is for women and men of all walks of life and denominational backgrounds who have found themselves in pastoral, priestly, or spiritual guidance roles from which they lead others in the Christian faith. In previous years we've had Spiritual Directors, Pastors, Priests, Worship Leaders, Children's Ministry Directors, Community Organizers, Ministry Leaders, Volunteer Managers, and many more in attendance.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH MY REGISTRATION? 
The cost of the retreat covers the retreat registration, two nights of lodging, two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, and snacks/drinks throughout the retreat.

WHAT AIRPORT IS MOST CONVENIENT? 
O’Hare International Airport is the closest to the retreat house.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET FROM THE AIRPORT TO BELLARMINE?
We think the easiest way to get from O’hare to Bellarmine is via one of the rideshare options. See Retreat Location for more information.

CAN I BRING MY KIDS WITH ME?
Unfortunately, the retreat house is unable to accommodate children.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Bring all personal toiletries and medications; Bellarmine does have a convenience pantry for essential items if you forget something. Most shower rooms and restrooms are shared, so we recommend bringing a robe and slippers. Comfortable walking shoes are a must-have for walking the 80-acre property. Lastly, a journal and writing instrument are highly recommended.

ARE THERE SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE?
We have a limited number of scholarships that we can offer on a first-come, first-serve basis. To inquire or request one, reach out to us through our contact page.

WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY? A full refund is available until April 7, 2024 (1 month before the retreat).
